Open doors, misheard words

You almost entered the room

Your glance, truly you quite caught me

Earlier; and not for the first time

You asked: did I need some space


This word, then

This collection of words

A soliloquy, a pleasance

A submission to somewhere unknown


Walks alone, in only our own passages

Tunnels; churchyards and shipbuilder’s sheds

Here is where you have sent me

You simply handed over the key


I opened the door, this time without fear

The old hinges, the cold steel

I feel no more their reign

Faint their memory, now fairly fading


You

You almost enter the room

I turn

I know now, I turned away too soon
